and, 'the word' came down from "the Board"
convenient, and interesting, that the Poppy's Carlyle Group is represented at that table ... Carlyle's presence is likely the most diverse the Board comes, as far as agendas, politics and socio-economic concerns go (IAW ... narrow)
... the Board with all the other Boards they carry with them has blessed the Democratic Party's course ...
If this had happened pre-corporate media, I would go 'yes!!' ... now, Media has lost accountability and trust ... and, invites caution ...
I really so much preferred the former conditions when I would go 'yes!!' ...
